They need to use the code I showed you above. That's not what I'm seeing on your blog; I just see the URL twice, in two different fonts. And if they're using a WordPress.com blog they need to put that code in the Code editor, not the Visual editor.

See, it is WAY easier to give people the URL and let them learn how to use the code than it is to try to make it foolproof for everybody. You can go insane trying to make it work for other people, when what you could do is say: here's the image and I'm going to let you use it and hotlink all you want, but you have to know how to use what I give you.

Just wondered if it was something I did wrong or if it was because it was a file I uploaded to my blog and was protected somehow.

So if someone takes the second URL and pastes into a post the smiley will appear?

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:21:03 +0000raincoaster84723@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/You got it to work just fine. I see the laughing smiley, then I see the text twice. Obviously you posted the smiley itself correctly. And under it, you posted the URL that other people will need to post it. I could take it and post it in my blog using that URL too. I would go:
{ img src="http://nuclearfamily.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/biglaugh.gif" } and that should work, replacing the curvy parenthesis with pointy brackets. But anyone who wants to post a smiley should know how to do that code; it's really, really basic.

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 08:21:04 +0000raincoaster84700@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/No, it doesn't. All I'm seeing in Firefox is the URL of the image twice. Mind you, if people know what they're doing, they can take that and run with it. If they don't know how to use code to post and they don't know how to put the URL in the visual editor, I'm not sure that anything you can do would help them.

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 09:10:57 +0000thijsvdb84162@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/another possibility is to put the code between <*code><*/code> tags (without the *).

It would look like this when you uses that:<img src="link to your picture">

Example:

If you want, you can just put some text there saying "it's okay to save this to your computer or post it." Otherwise of course, some people will respect your copyright and assume you don't want it copied.

Fri, 01 Jun 2007 10:08:44 +0000darro83852@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/Is there a way to let someone have access to an image on my blog? Say I upload an image, post it and then can I also post the code so someone else can post one of my uploaded images on their blog? If so, how do I do that? And what would they need to do? Maybe I should say it'd be an animated smiley .gif, I don't know if that would make a difference.
